Chapter 635: You Are My Life 3
The people outside still did not move.
Without orders from their superiors, they dared not act on their own initiative.
The village chief’s eyes brimmed with hot tears, "Please, do us a kindness and buy some silver needles for Dr. Weiliang, you disregard our lives, refuse to save us, at least let someone else save us."
"Boss, let’s go buy some silver needles."
"Yes, let’s go buy them, maybe that young lady really has a way to save us."
"Yes, buy them, we must seize even the slightest hope, it’s over two hundred lives... "
The crowd could not bear it, and the leader of the armed police felt somewhat embarrassed.
Shouting at Xia Weibao, "Wait, I’m going to ask for instructions."
Having said that, he turned and ran. Two kilometers away there was a research institute, established specifically to research this epidemic.
The leader of the armed police hurried into it.
"Dr. Xiang, a woman entered Qinghua Village two hours ago, and she’s asking us to send in a batch of silver needles."
Xiang Minhai, who was the main person in charge of this medical team, lifted his head amidst the busyness upon hearing this.
"What does she need silver needles for?"
"She must want to perform acupuncture for the villagers. A drone caught her bringing a lot of traditional Chinese medicine with her, she’s a practitioner of Chinese medicine."
Xiang Minhai’s face immediately darkened, "Traditional Chinese medicine is deceitful! Believing in traditional Chinese medicine will only lead to death! Just ignore her, continue guarding there, we will soon come up with a solution here."
The leader of the armed police was in a difficult position, "Dr. Xiang, actually sending a few packs of silver needles inside isn’t really a big deal..."
"Am I the doctor or are you the doctor? I already said that traditional Chinese medicine is not to be trusted! And here you are causing trouble, if you delay the research, can you take responsibility for that?"
The leader of the armed police was scolded and had no choice but to leave with his head held high.
Indeed, this was an expected outcome, as everyone knew that Xiang Minhai, the director of The First Hospital, only revered Western medicine and disdained traditional Chinese medicine the most.
The more Xiang Minhai thought about it, the angrier he became. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, what an era we live in, and still, there are people who believe in that deceitful stuff!
And his son was the same, obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine, had been out of sight for several months already.
Good-for-nothing!
"Wait a minute, I’ll go have a look with you."
Xiang Minhai said, storming out angrily.
He wanted to see for himself what would befall these foolish villagers who believed in traditional Chinese medicine.
Xia Weibao hadn’t been waiting long when she saw the armed police leader who had just left now coming back, accompanied by a doctor.
When she caught sight of Xiang Minhai’s face, her eyes instantly turned cold.
Why is it this man again!
When she had been disfigured by a gas explosion, it was this Xiang Minhai who had insisted she undergo some darned skin grafting surgery!
He seemed to have a strong aversion to traditional Chinese medicine, which made things difficult.
As she was thinking, Xiang Minhai, clad in his protective gear, was already approaching the iron bars, his eyes full of anger.
"Who needs silver needles?"
"I do." Xia Weibao took a step forward, returning his stare coldly.
Xiang Minhai scoffed, "What do you need silver needles for, thinking of saving people through acupuncture? Not using medication?"
"That’s none of your business, just buy me a few packs of silver needles, or let me go out and buy them myself."
"What a joke!" Xiang Minhai’s expression turned cold, "Inside there, it’s all full of germs. If we let you out and you bring the epidemic out with you, endangering people on the outside, who would take responsibility for that!"
The village chief was hopping mad, "What do you mean by that, ’endangering people on the outside’? Are we not human beings inside here?"
"That’s not what I mean, it’s just that you are now a quarantined population, and you cannot go out."
